Tottenham Targets West Ham Players Following Relegation
Tottenham Hotspur is embarking on a major squad overhaul after narrowly escaping relegation this season, with club executives eager to revamp the team under new manager Roberto De Zerbi.
Internal discussions at Spurs have revealed that a lack of leadership has contributed to their struggle this season, prompting management to seek solutions during the summer transfer window. The club is notably pursuing Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi, both of whom are set to become free agents.

Additionally, Spurs are expected to consider signings from the three clubs relegated from the Premier League, searching for cost-effective players to strengthen their roster.
Tottenham Joins Race for West Ham’s Wan-Bissaka
In a related move, Tottenham is among several Premier League clubs eyeing veteran West Ham United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka, according to a report from TEAMtalk. Other interested clubs include Everton, Fulham, and Newcastle United, all competing for the services of the 28-year-old, who has over 230 appearances in the Premier League.
After transferring from Manchester United to West Ham in the summer of 2024, Wan-Bissaka has been a regular starter for the Hammers. However, following the club’s relegation on the last day of the season, he is among many first-team players potentially leaving as West Ham seeks to generate funds for financial stability.
The club needs to raise approximately £150 million from player sales to recover from a £100 million loss due to relegation. Although Wan-Bissaka has five years remaining on his contract, West Ham is open to offers starting at around £10 million. Reports indicate that this valuation is attracting attention from several Premier League sides, considering the player’s significant top-flight experience.
